Presented in three 8-hour days, the 7 Habits process by Stephen Covey is a lasting solution that helps build stronger organizations by strengthening the character and competence of the individuals who comprise them. This approach provides the most comprehensive foundation available for fostering positive change at all four levels of leadership: personal, interpersonal, managerial, and organizational. In turn, this solid foundation of principle-centered behavior makes other training initiatives in the organization more productive and valuable.
